- muricula 6y agoHere's the article the parent mentioned in passing, it may answer your question: https://www.chromium.org/Home/chromium-security/memory-safety/rust-and-c-interoperability https://www.chromium.org/Home/chromium-security/memory-safet... It's very Chrome and C++ specific, but the problems will likely be similar in practice.
- stmw 6y agoAh, right, I'd read that - but it's for C++, so it's a bit different than the kernel situation, and I actually had a much more positive reaction to it ("wow, seems like C++<->Rust is actually pretty far along"). Guess both are reasonable takeaways.
